Obituary

James Robert "Bob" Graham, 88, of Collinsville, IL passed away at his residence on Wednesday, December 3, 2025. Born on April 30, 1937, in East St. Louis, IL, Bob was the son of the late Floyd and Marie (née Saunders) Graham.

Bob married the love of his life, Donna (Condomitti) Graham, on September 10, 1960, and she survives. A proud 1955 graduate of Collinsville High School, he went on to earn an associate degree in business from SIUE. Bob built a fulfilling career with General Electric, where he retired as a district sales trainer.

Devoted to his community and guided by a strong sense of service, Bob was a 32nd-degree Mason and a member of St. John United Church of Christ in Collinsville for 40 years. He shared his time and talents as a baseball and soccer coach, a TEPEE youth social club volunteer, and a dedicated board member. Bob also honorably served his country in the United States Navy.

Bob loved to stay active and connected. He enjoyed golfing, traveling, and taking memorable family vacations. In later years, he cherished the adventures he shared with his co-workers and their families.

In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his brothers, William "Bill" Graham and Gary Graham.

Left to cherish his memory are his devoted wife, Donna Graham, and his son, Matthew Graham of St. Louis, MO.
